A friend is a treasure

A friend is a treasure

A friend is someone we turn

To, when our spirits need a lift

A friend is someone we treasure,

For our friendship is a gift.

A friend is someone who fills

Our lives, with Beauty,

Joy, and Grace, and makes

The world we live in a better
happier place

Condolences

I worked along side “Big John” for many years at the Truman Post Office. Always a cheerful greeting from John each morning while loading up our LLV’s heading out to our appointed rounds. John will be missed deeply. My condolences to the family and friends.

prayers and hugs to John’s family. John was a wonderful man and mail carrier. I had the pleasure of working with him and having him as my mailman. He was always pleasant and friendly. He was proud of his family and was proud to show new pics of his grandchildren. My family and I are so sad to hear of John’s death. He will truly be missed.
